How To Manage Your To-Do List

Sometimes when we look at our work, homework, projects and checklists, we wonder how we’re going to be able to finish it all. Beautiful World Canada, a Toronto-based charity that helps women in Sub-Saharan Africa complete post-secondary education, offers some tips.

One of the best ways of tackling that big project is breaking it down into smaller tasks, and then breaking those down into even smaller to-dos.

Another tip is working backward from the project deadline to now. This method breaks your project up into stages like completed, proofreading, editing, writing, drafting, planning, and brainstorming.

Lastly, schedule a follow-up some time after the deadline. Approaching our work, schoolwork and life this way can both alleviate unnecessary stress and increase overall productivity.
